How can I configure the auto create mailbox feature that it works and
let run LMTP and IMAP process as user %u and group mail and let create
the mailboxes in /var/mail as (example user tester) with the following
permissions:
/var/mail:
drwxrwx--x root mail 3072 Dec 18 01:43 .
drwx------ tester tester 1024 Jan 09 12:53 tester
This is probably what you need:
# Group to enable temporarily for privileged operations. Currently this
is
# used only with INBOX when either its initial creation or dotlocking
fails.
# Typically this is set to "mail" to give access to /var/mail.
mail_privileged_group = mail
...or do I need a different approach?
You could also
chmod 1777 /var/mail
but this will allow arbitrary uses who have filesystem access to create
their own files here, and maybe DoS a new user from being created (or
maybe even anticipate a new mailbox, create one with mode 0777 and
wait to intercept mail?).
